Charlie Wright-

From a California newspaper we get an account of the accidental shooting of little Charlie Wright, son of Mr. and Mrs. George Wright. It says:

“Saturday morning the little lad went to Hollywood to spend the day with a boy friend. During the course of their play, a revolver belonging to his friend’s father was taken from a drawer and in some unaccountable way the weapon was discharged entering Charlie’s left temple and coming out below the brain. The little fellow never regained consciousness passing away about 4:30 p.m.”
